Somewhere Deep Within

How many roads must a child walk down?

Before we see they are lost.

How many souls must forever be gone?

Before we see the cost.

How many times can we shake our heads?

Walk away so sadly.

How many times can we close our eyes?

And not face reality.

The answer my friends

Is somewhere deep within

The answer is somewhere deep within

How many times can we cover our ears?

Block out the cries all around.

How many times can we walk on by?

Not seeing the blood on the ground.

How many times do we push them aside?

Afraid to become involved.

How many more must disappear?

Before the problem is solved.

The answer my friends

Is somewhere deep within

The answer is somewhere deep within

And how many times must the noose be made?

The pill bottle falls to the floor.

How many times must the blade cut deep?

Before we all yell, "No More."

How many more will suffer in silence?

Afraid to seek out help.

It might be your son or daughter, my friend.

Its time that we all reached out.

The answer my friends

Is somewhere deep within

The answer is somewhere deep within

How many times must the funeral bell toll?

Souls so young, locked inside.

How many more must we put in the ground?

Before too many have died.

The answer my friends

Is somewhere deep within

The answer is somewhere deep within
